description: Firstrade Securities is a commission-free online brokerage offering trading in stocks, ETFs, options, mutual
  funds, and fixed income securities with no account minimums and no inactivity fees. Firstrade does not publish an official
  public REST API; programmatic account access is available through the Plaid financial data aggregator, which supports account
  balance retrieval, transaction history, investment holdings, and asset reports for Firstrade accounts. Community-developed
  unofficial Python SDKs also exist for session- based automation but are not affiliated with or endorsed by Firstrade.
